The "series thread" might be useful for general smack-talking, coming back to in the morning, thinking ahead to the next game, etc but I think each game also needs its own thread. We haven't really done series threads this year, the Royals have been a little too popular on this board for that.

they are having wolf shirts as apart of a promotion at the K later on in the year as apart of GREEN WEEK at the K.

yes, it is quite sad. :( I can't believe we just lost the Meche and Grienke games. As bad as the offense has been, we have had leads late into games. When we were winning, we had a mediocre offense, but we did not lose leads late in games.

the bullpen needs to show up to a couple of games sometime soon. i can't believe i am going to type this next sentence. the only two consitent bullpen players lately have been farnsworth and tejeda. :grr:

small sample size?

The best teams in baseball lose nearly 40% of their games, and the worst win over a third. This game is so random and subject to dumb luck that you need 162 games to dampen down the variance.
